For 8 consecutive years, Singapore’s Changi airport has been dubbed the world’s best. It is a hub for 62 million passengers annually and is known worldwide for its indoor greenery designed to promote Singapore’s reputation as a city of gardens.
The extension, which is to be opened in the first half of 2019, is a futuristic looking dome of curved glass and steel with the world’s highest indoor waterfall (40 m) placed at its center.
The dome will be populated with flora that consists of 2,000 trees and over 100,000 other plants. These will receive sunlight through the glass of the dome which will be supplemented by Valoya’s luminaires, custom made for the Changi Airport.
Valoya is a provider of LED grow lights for crop science, vertical farming and medicinal plants markets globally, known for their research driven approach and high quality, wide spectra. In addition to the standard product series, Valoya offers custom made solutions developed for large scale projects such as Singapore’s renowned airport. These custom solutions are typically made for projects that are demanding and need a high degree of engineering and photobiology expertise and support.
The form factor of the luminaires resembles a compact box designed to fade into the background and not distract from the plants. Valoya’s powerful LEDs are placed inside with a spectrum optimized for the entire growth cycle of the widest variety of plants. The spectrum’s color is a warm white designed to seamlessly fuse with natural sunlight. It is safe for and pleasant to human eyes.
The construction of this dome is a $1.7 billion project. The order of Valoya luminaires is already delivered to the customer and is in the installation phase. In March 2019 the dome will open its doors to visitors.
